With a family history of prostate cancer, Max Schlueter wasn’t surprised when he was diagnosed. What did come as a surprise was his cancer metastasizing to hip and spine. A treatment regimen combining Lupron and chemotherapy kept the cancer at bay; however, years later, the cancer returned years later attacking the nerve linings of his legs and feet, rendering him a paraplegic. Between determination, his Buddhist faith and a stellar team of physician therapists, Max regained his ability to walk. Now retired, he has returned to an active lifestyle of skiing, kayaking and mountain climbing.
